No-spray map is a good idea

Although opinions vary widely about the use of pesticides, we'd wager that everyone agrees that these toxins should be used as sparingly as possible.

People who dislike pesticides obviously want the use minimized.

But so do the farmers, ranchers and others who rely on pesticides to control insects, weeds and diseases that can harm their businesses. For them, pesticide sprayed where it's not needed amounts to a waste of money.
